First Mod.. easy no sod push button flashlight

[Lab]

Ok here is my first mod step by step very easy to make..

start with a cheap keychain flashlight promotional item from many companies..



first step it to pull open up take out battery and bulb.. then drill the hole that the light was in large enough that the connector fits in snugly i drill until the hole is almost all the way through then tap the connector in with a hammer so that nothing is needed to keep it in place..



connector in place..



I had to cut the tube a bit shorted since the connector does not go in as far as the bulb did not get a picture but after that.. applied a 24k gold leaf vinyl to the tube.. real gold..



picture of it with spring and 10440 battery ready to be put in



fully assembled





cost around 1$ to make if you have a dead battery to pull connector off of. and dont use gold on it..

the church i go to has them with their logo on them.. so i guess you can find them on one of those print logo on items sites..

i have seen a few close to them online.. its a simple triple a battery light with push button to push the spring in..

Hey I wouldn't mind a church logo on it I am Rev. G. after all>

But thanks I'll keep my eye out for them.

I've been thinking a mini keychain mod would be great for a backup. Right next to my GI can opener and flash drive and magnesium fire starter. be prepared to bug out,

Nice easy little mod

You used the same basic method I did to mod a MadVapes flashlight. I just had to grind down the battery connector so that the positive post was further out than the outer negative part so that the positive would actually make contact.

mine the only thing extra i had to do was for the new batteries that i have the plastic wraps a bit over the end.. so i put a bit of sod on the button end so that it would push down more in the middle than on the sides of the spring.
